And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

JUNG_E | Official Trailer | Netflix. -- Just watched this. It's in Korean. Way, way better than you'd think. The story line dodges around to multiple surprises that'll leave you going, "wait, WHAT!?"
If I wanted to read subtitles, I'd read a book. I am very physically limited in that I can only visually focus on one thing at a time...or maybe it's a racist thing.
Ok, we are going to take the plot lines from Robo Cop, Terminator, Blade Runner, 2010 and High Noon and do it in Korean. No thanks, I'll rewatch the originals.
I remember when I wouldn't watch a movie if it had subtitles, but eventually, having the lips out of sync was even more annoying. Now, with age-related hearing loss,I have to use subtitles with everything, even American. I like British stuff and the accents lose me. I wish I had subtitles when I call customer service. It becomes so automatic that you feel like you're understanding even when they're speaking Danish or whatever. Before someone says "hearing aid" I had my hearing checked and they said a hearing aid wouldn't help.
My son watched it on Netflix today. No subtitles - it was dubbed in English. I caught bits and pieces. When I asked him his opinion, his response was "It was ok. 3-4 on a 5 scale.
Another powerful woman "hear me roar" attempt. No thanks.
ReplyDeleteYou might be surprised what it is about, but you'd have to watch it first before rendering judgement.
DeleteThat might be an ok movie, even with the subtitles, I saved it to my list.
DeleteGhost: Not just "I am woman hear me roar", but "climate change" as well. Ack.
Deletethat'll leave you going, "wait, WHAT!?"
ReplyDeleteHave you watched the news, in the last few years?
Watched it. Not too bad. Good special effects.

ReplyDeleteOh boy, just what I was waiting for, ANOTHER super woman that can bash hundreds of men in a 5-min fight. Um...yeah... as they say in Texas, "El Paso."
ReplyDeleteI am a fan of Korean cinema. They are doing some real quality things. Will definitely watch this.
ReplyDeleteMy wife and I are huge fans of Korea film, and this is on our list. Check out The Uncanny Counter on Netflix if you have not seen it

ReplyDeleteI cancelled my Netflix subscription when they started pushing kiddy p0rn. Won't give them any more money.
ReplyDeleteI watched the first 30 minutes. I couldn’t get into it.
